I get a fair amount of recorded material sent to me for consideration for airplay, and a while back I opened the mail which contained a disk of new music for saxophone featuring soloist Glen Gillis. Not being terribly excited about the prospect of listening to a disk of classical saxophone music, the disk sat on my desk until this morning. After listening, I have to admit there's some interesting music on the CD.
The most interesting piece--and most appropriate for airplay--I found to be the piece by composer Barbara York, entitled Sonata "Making Changes". It's tonal, and I found it to be pretty interesting. Also of some appeal to me were a couple of pieces by Richard Gillis (I assume he is related to the soloist), and the Exotic Dance of Giant Butterflies by Paul Suchan.
The disk is entitled "Saxspectrum 2", and is on the MSR Classics label.
